Hi,
I just ordered the 2 Week Zone Fast meals, along with Omega Rx, Polyphenol Plus, Orange Creamsicle Shake and even a shaker cup and I cannot wait to receive it all. I just hope it's not too late. I turned 62 on the 10th and my health is not good. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, borderline diabetic, OVERWEIGHT, etc., etc., etc. I feel like heck. In fact, I took a heart attack/stroke risk test thru Dr. Oz's site about a week ago and I have all the risks except one: I don't smoke. I cannot believe I let myself go like this. I want so badly to get healthy and I'm going to do my very best. Thing is, I've known about the Zone Diet for a few years now. I don't know why it took me so long to get serious about it.

Welcome Linda!
It's never too late.  You've made an excellent choice. The Zone is awesome. It's literally changed my life. I'll be happy to help if you have questions. I fit your description to a "T" 16 years ago when I began following the Zone diet and lifestyle. I was 42 at the time, now I'm 58, and I weighed in the mid 200's back then. I lost 100 pounds during the first two years of the Zone. I've been 'in the Zone' ever since and have maintained my ideal weight. My high triglycerides, high LDL and high blood pressure are gone. I switched from eating classic Zone meals to the ZoneFast 1-2-3 plan when it debuted last year and I love it.
Have fun with it!

Linda, welcome!
It is never too late to begin the rest of your life! Each step to improve your health is a step in the right direction. And, don't beat yourself up over waiting so long--just look forward, not backwards!
On a side note, I am also from Wisconsin, I live more in the central part of the state. It will be really neat to chat with a neighbor! |

WELCOME! I don't want to get heart problems and get diabetes. My mother got them at the age of 65. That's why I am here. Ok ok..also I want to buy more fashionable clothes and look nice too...
I wish I could order that kind of package home to Finland. Maybe I can. Have to check it out from this website. |

Thanks Cranberrycat I received my shipment last week and everything is going so smoothly. The food is delicious and I haven't slipped up once. I am not craving anything "bad." It's amazing how easy this is. We're in the middle of moving so if I don't post a lot -- that is why. Linda |

Ahh, understand! We are in the midst of contemplating a move, too. We live in the central part of the state, but contemplating a move up to Marinette. Depends on DH's job situation. |

Great job, Linda! Isn't it awesome to eat a plan that tastes good, is filling AND good for you? Best of luck with your move. We're moving in about 3 weeks so I will be in your shoes pretty soon. |
